about three hundred acres to his farm at
the Broadway trestle. he now has body
Of valuable farming lands, which cost him
$500, and still he is bidding fifteen dol

which he will no doubt purchase in few
days. He will move, report says, at an
dste to his new possessions, where he will
run six or eight mule farm, under his
own skillful and watchful eye. tits need
less for US. to speak of him as a farmer,
for he is too well known to many of your
readers to be one of the BEST and is also
possessed Of great capacities for other bus
iness.
Mr.. D. D. Gentry will move at an early
date to the Lebanon community, where
he will run a farm next year. While we
regret to part with Mr.. Gentry and family,
it affords us great pleasure to recommend
him to the good people of Lebanon as
good farmer, substantial citizen and
Christian gentleman.
Mr.. James A. Shirley lost, the other
day, very fine mixer, well worth $50.

The prayer meeting at Eureka is still
doing good work. Impressions are be-
ing made there upon the minds of the
young that will be felt for good in days to
come. The meeting is held every Thurs
day night. Our attendance is from forty
to sixty, and all seem to take great interest
in the exercises. One of our young work
ers, Mr.. Rob't Balentine, has been de-
prived of meeting with US for some time.
He has been confined to his bed sixty days
or more with typhoid fever, but we are
glad to say that he is now improving rap
idly, and will soon be able to meet with
Us again.
Our Sunday School has recently pur.
chased ten dollar library. Besides the
books composing the library, the Ameri-
can Baptist Publication Society, of Phila-
delphia, at the solicitation of the Superin-
tendent, sent us several other interesting
volumes, for which the whole school feels
very grateful. The good Lord, as we'll as
everybody else, loves cheerful giver.
The closing exercises of the school, on
last Sunday afternoon, were happily and
agreeably interrupted by Mrs. B. B. Brea-
zeale who rose-unexpectedly to the Super
intendent, and made some very appropri-
ate and felicitous remarks, touching upon
his faithfulness in the great and good
cause of the Sunday School, and at tho
conclusion of which she presented him
with nice silver cup, coming from the
married women of the School, as an eX-
preston of their high appreciation of his
services, to which the Colonel, with eyes
full of tears, made @ happy and feeling
response. Every one, both young and
old, joined heartily In the demonstration.
Faithfulness to duty is always rewarded.
The Rev. A. A. Marshal will preach for
us at Eureka at o'clock next Sunday
afternoon.
